THE POWER OF SEQUENCING
Next-Generation sequencing allows for efficient and accurate reading of the nucleotide code to provide genetic information about the microorganisms present in a sample.
Relative Quantitation
Avoid amplification bias and accurately quantify the microbial composition of a sample.
AI-Powered Accuracy
TAAG’s library preparation primers are designed using Mila’s advanced machine learning and simulation capabilities, in order to ensure inclusivity and uniformity of amplification.
Species-Level Resolution
Identify bacterial and fungal species using a combination of 16S/ITS and housekeeping genes.

How it works
16s and ITS genes are used to identify bacterial and fungal genera, respectively. While most protocols on the market stop here. TAAG'S NGS workflow uses housekeeping genes to resolve identification down to the species level.
Explore Applications
Microbiome profiling
Use the TAAG NGS library preparation method for relative quantification of human, animal, or plant microbiomes for research purposes.
PCR target exploration
Analyze your sample for microbial species to identify targets of interest for a customized PCR assay (example: food spoilage microorganisms in a packaging facility).
PCR Result Investigation
Sequence PCR products to gain additional insights about the organism(s) that generated the positive result.
Vineyard Terroir analysis
Determine the microbial composition of vineyard soil and grapevines, to assess and control its impact on wine character.
Identification of non-culturable organisms
Go beyond the petri dish and detect organisms in a culture-independent manner for significantly higher inclusivity and sensitivity.
Looking AHEAD
Next Generation Sequencing is rapidly becoming an essential component of the modern biological toolkit. This robust, versatile technology has numerous applications, including non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), liquid biopsy cancer profiling, and eDNA biodiversity monitoring. Currently, TAAG offers NGS only for microbial and fungal identification.
